EMF Compat: Quark
by stradat
EMF Compat: Quark is a client-side patch that makes Quark emotes display correctly on player models animated by Entity Model Features.
What it does
Quark emotes, such as the wave salute and other dances, normally ignore the custom animations that EMF applies to a player model. This mod changes only the arms and body parts that an emote moves, while the rest of the model keeps the animation from the installed resource pack. Tested with Fresh Animations, the mod is listed as compatible with most player animation resource packs that use EMF.
Installation needs EMF Compat: Core, Quark, [EMF] Entity Model Features and [ETF] Entity Texture Features on the client. Because the mod is client-side only, servers do not need it, and players join without installing it. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, with 1.1.0 as the latest build on both loaders, covering game versions 1.20.1 and 1.21.1. The source code is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, so the mod is open source.
Key features
Correct emote display
Quark emotes render properly on player models that EMF has animated, instead of overriding the pack's motion.
Partial emote override
Only the arms and body parts an emote uses take its pose, while everything else keeps animating from the resource pack.
Player Extension support
Emotes such as the wave salute and other Quark dances play as intended when the Player Extension resource pack is active.

Who it’s for: Players who run Quark on the client and want its emotes to match the animations from an EMF resource pack. Server owners do not need to install anything for this mod.
How it compares
Simple Emotes is a client and server mod for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, covering 1.18.2 – 26.3, under All rights reserved, and it is not open source. Online Emotes is client-side only, open source under the Open Software License 3.0, and published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt 1.18 – 26.2, so it covers more loaders and versions than this patch, which is limited to Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1.

What the author says
A small client-side mod that makes Quark emotes work correctly with Entity Model Features player models. Tested with Fresh Animations: Player Extension but it should work with any player animation resource pack.
